Storm ID have signed a 2-year deal with the Digital Health & 护理创新中心 (DHI) for the 里努 Health Platform, with an option for a further 2 years, to revolutionise digital innovation in health and care across Scotland.
The unique health platform supports secure health data exchange between patients and clinical care teams, providing core service components including identity, 同意, 安全, 数据捕获, 管理和储存. It supports services that can reduce the need for face-to-face outpatient appointments and supports the remote management of conditions – vital in the response to 新型冠状病毒肺炎 and in reducing waiting times and hospital re-admission rates.
The 里努 platform enforces standards around data interoperability and 安全 using FHIR and SNOMED coding standards and integrates with secondary and primary care systems. Patients using services provisioned on 里努 control their own data and actively 同意 to share data with their care team.
The platform is designed to be open and has been architected using a suite of APIs to allow for third-party innovation. The DHI will use the platform to foster innovation in health and care via the use of a sandbox environment and a supporting developer portal that provides access to platform APIs.
Innovative new services that are successfully evaluated can move from the sandbox environment to live environments hosted in the NHS, providing a pathway for proven sensors, digital services and other digital health innovations to be evaluated and procured by the NHS.
The platform currently underpins a suite of live digital services that provide routine care delivery across the NHS. These include support for asynchronous outpatient appointments, remote management of COPD and heart failure and a patient facing digital service that supports Scotland’s Test and Protect strategy.
“As developers of digital health services ourselves, we know many of the challenges in jumping from innovative idea to live, 运营服务. 里努, 敞开着, API, standards driven data exchange capability, means innovators can focus on service design without worrying about interoperability, 安全性和遵从性. 里努 is a key enabler for digital health innovators looking to accelerate their ideas and we’re thrilled to continue our collaboration with the DHI.” – Paul McGinness, Director at Storm ID
“The DHI plays a pivotal role in supporting the co-design of person-centred digital health and care solutions. The 里努 Health Platform will be made available as a Health Data Exchange as part of a suite of person-centred data sharing tools to support digital health and care innovation. Innovators will be encouraged to come and experiment with these tools, connecting their applications and devices in sandbox environments provided as part of the DHI Exchange initiative. In this way we can ensure that the next generation of digital health and care services are integrated in a person-centred manner from the outset.” – Chal Chute, Chief Technology Officer at the Digital Health & 护理创新中心
